“I can’t get anyone to communicate with me from down there,” said Donna Davis.
For eight years, Davis has asked one question: where is her daughter?
Wells disappeared between Appleton Street and Telegraph Road on Detroit’s west side.
Davis wants to know how could a case go cold on day one and what are investigators doing eight years later?
She said she was told police would skim the river, use K-9 units and search nearby homes, but they never did.
Wells boyfriend was questioned, but never charged.
The entire family, including Wells’ two children -- a son, 25, and a daughter, 14 -- are asking for anyone who might know something to reach out.
“I am pleading, begging; tell us something,” Davis said.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $3,500 reward for information that leads to an arrest. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Speak-Up.
